Memories from past show your flashing images,
Those poems, those messages, those late night calls, now it feels
like ages,
After so many efforts still you are on my memory
pages,
Do you remember or have forgotten the different
stages,

That we passed with hands in hands together,
And said that we will be each other's forever,
But you left me when we had to face a tide of rough
weather,
Oh do you remember me or not, the Familiar
Stranger…………

I don't know how my all qualities disappeared for you in a
flash,
The qualities for which you were proud on me are now in
trash,
Were you blind or now there is something in your
eyelash,
I still can't believe that my feelings are now just a piece of
ash,

Can't you see that below your feet lies my love's
feather,
Did you think before hitting my heart with a belt of
leather,
You left me when we had to face a tide of rough
weather,
Oh do you remember me or not, the Familiar
Stranger…………

You always said that nobody can ever take my
place,
Now why are you avoiding me, look into my face,
You say that one should move on in life with
pace,
It's okay then but from my life delete your
trace,

Listen oh my dear 'life-changer',
You didn't think twice before leaving my heart in
danger,
You left me when we had to face a tide of rough
weather,
Oh do you remember me or not, the Familiar Stranger…………
